CEO of Brave rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros (lemm.ee)

The IRS rules governing nonprofits still required the Mozilla Foundation to beg big to go big: the parent had to go find big grants from Soros, Ford, Knight, MacArthur, and give smaller grants to many. This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs and nonprofits (too many glowies there for me, too). Which meant I had a hostile MoFo over my head the minute I got CEO appointment from the MoCo board...

Of course I can't comment on anything about my exit, for reasons that only the most loopy HN h8ers still can't figure out.

Self hosting is increasingly the path forward for the privacy concious.

You're right and it's so fucking annoying. I really want someone to jump into the niche and provide support for those of us who get to remember how to sysadmin again.

I don't want/need "plug and play" but I also don't really have time to relearn everything I knew "in a prior life."

Suggestions? At this point I'd love to have a backend for my email that isn't Microsoft.

I run a small thinclient (HP Mini G400, but those small Lenovos thinkcentres and others also work) in my home. Cost me ~100€ plus a few Euro for a RAM update and a bigger hard drive and now I'm running Proxmox with the help of the Community Scripts:

It's quite awesome, to be honest.

I just did a similar setup with a custom built NUC and I even got PCI Passthrough working. I want to get as many years out of this as possible. Proxmox is great.

Can I introduce you to your new best friend, Yunohost? It's a self-hosting platform based on Linux designed to run on a shitty old laptop, SBC, USFF PC or such plugged into your router. Browser-based, loads of extensions and tools, the hardest part it installing it - it's no more or less tricky that installing Ubuntu, but that's still involved for many people.

Namecheep with free-tier DNS, and Zoho for email/office that respects privacy.

$46 Australian per year for a single person for Domain DNS Email Cloud storage Lots of sub+products for business use.

Not self-hosted servers ... But better than MS/Google mail hosting while still secure.
